Then you need to add the AddThis javascript to your HTML. I like to put it in the footer so all of my content can load first.

Next, you will need to add the following javascript, substituting the “YOUR-ACCOUNT-ID” with your AddThis username. I usually put this right above the first link that will be using the AddThis code.

Finally you will need to add the ‘onclick’ javascript to the anchor tag like I do in the example below. The key here is to put the name of the service you wish the button to link to where I have inserted ‘stumbleupon’ below. A full list of services can be found on the AddThis custom services page.

So that is how I am able to track my sharing button usage on my site through AddThis without using the AddThis button.
